I had it in Lenovo X61 Tablet. It was called CompuTrace back then. It was a BIOS module that Windows executes while processing ACPI tables during boot. Now it's probably a UEFI module that does the same.

I removed it by 0-ing out the module in a BIOS update image and reinstalling Windows. This method probably doesn't work with UEFI anymore because it invalidates the signature, so yes, it's unremovable.
